This is a sympathetic film, with many, many weak spots, such as the crew members that are starring in one of the scenes, perfectly reflected in a dark car window. The dialogue is often forced, so it's very difficult to really get into the film. But visually it is not bad at all and generally has a very authentic feel. The characters are never far away from reality and Oslo, back in 1990, must have been a terribly depressing place, according the portrait that this film paints of it. Oslo S (the Central Station), still is a gathering place for junkies, 20 years later. For a teenage public it is a very nice coming-of-age film with a good introduction to the darker side of growing up in a big city.
